Ulsterman Jeremy McWilliams would like extra time to prepare for the opening round of the MotoGP season but knows his Ilmor team will get no more chances to test their new machine.

Ulsterman Jeremy McWilliams is fit to make his first appearance of the year for the Ilmor team later this week during pre-season testing in Qatar.

Jeremy McWilliams has set his sights on scoring world championship points and starring at the British Grand Prix during his debut season with new team Ilmor.

Yamaha’s return to the World Superbike Championship is on track despite bad weather during testing, according to rider Andrew Pitt.
